A whole bunch of district functions - think engineering and design type roles - are outsourced to RCES. That way Disney could share them with their own internal resources.

For instance, RCES are responsible for the design of road signage on behalf of the District. This allows for the same signage to appear on District and Disney owned roadways.
So after 2028 who provides these services?

Except the board was prevented from accessing their most direct means of creating delays. Now they get to move forward with changing the comprehensive plan and development regulations, opening up that very ability to meddle.
This does not seem like something that would come back in any sort of agreement that was made.

There's no conditions on Disney to stop publicly speaking on political issues.

Nor is there any mention that the new board has reviewing powers over Disney content in the parks or studios.

That would have been some people's first priority in 'controlling Disney' as part of a settlement since that seemed to be the major concern of those imposing the new board.

And Disney gets to move ahead with the MK, DHS, and AK work without artificial delays from the board.
I doubt the gov would want to publicly block a few billion investment in central Florida tho…

Get out of the way… ok… but make it untenable? Seems counter to his bigger picture needs

The reason this whole thing started no longer exists. The government never had any viable, legitimate reason for interfering in Disney's business so there's no reason to believe the district won't go back to being handled the way it was all those years. The only difference may be in rewarding connected politicians with lucrative, but powerless, appointments.
